If this is true then People should lose their jobs. Why do we have such broken systems in this City and County; is there anybody in these positions who have worked where records were a must. Accountability is what’s missing, but if you have no program in place/ inventory system, then what do you expect? There is always a failure on somebody’s part in our city/county government, yet no one is held accountable. It’s a buddy system, can’t you tell.

Sad ole Memphis

Did I read a different article then you? No where in this article did it say Memphis City but a SCS issue. Now that SCS also contains MCS I would be suspicious where the most of this 48 million is from. If it is in the old MCS system then the problem is not SCS but the on going issue with the sorry Memphis system. The story is not complete in my mind as it blames SCS for everything and not a complete breakdown of where these shortages originated from.

This audit was a combination of both school systems, so get off your band wagon about just MCS. There are no systems in place, none, not any! This is a broken system and the best answer Kevin Woods could give this morning with a smirk on his face about future inventories was what it cost, not that for sure there will be a system put in place to make sure something like this never comes up again. Our leaders are so far behind the times, and yes, if we keep down this road we will certainly be the next Detroit. Nobody seems to have their arms around anything in our City or County Governments. People really need to look long and hard at who they are putting in office, and to do that they must look beyond just color; me, I don’t care what color you are as long as you are managing things, and these things benefit the city and it’s people, we absolutely don’t have that now.

They mention specific warehouses and schools. Who wants to lay odds these locations were part of MSC? I do not know why there are mentioning losing jobs when they should be talking jail time! 48 Million?

Stolen from the taxpayers and students, methodically and systematically. No audits by the ranking officials contrary to sound business practices.

This has the makings of one of the biggest Fraud and Conspiracy cases to ever hit a Municipality.
